PLENTY HORSES FOR BUTTE About 250 Head to Be Shipped From Omaha — Large Consignment From Other Tracks. OMAHA. Neb., June 12— That Butte will have plenty of horses for the inaugural meeting at Marcus Daly Park was assured when assistant general manager Charles F. Roe and presiding steward George W. Schilling were deluged with applications for stabling room upon their arrival here last week. Practically every owner here was anxious to send his charges to Butte, which, horsemen feel, is going to have a banner meeting, and the 250 head which have been accepted by Mr. Roe will be shipped direct from Omaha if tne curtailed meeting here is declared off. Aside from the horses which will be seat to Butte from here will be several from Fair-mount Park. St. Louis, and Washington Parc, Chicago. Messrs. Roe and Schilling, who have visited both the latter tracks in their short tour, stated that they received many inquiries concerning Butte racing from prominent turfmen and all were greatly interested in the progress being made in Montana and were sure that the new racing plant would be a great thing for racing, as well as for the state.
